Merry Christmas. (After a few more, I may get this present wrapping thing.)
A very happy Christmas to all. May you all have a simply magical time. Christmas is made for that.
It's a great time of the year--even if JW's are supposed to be sad and depressed by all this "pagan" activity. Merry Christmas to all!

The EX JW Night Before Christmas
-
Twas the night before Christmas,when all through the halls
Not a witness was celebrating,no nothing at all
-
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of Armageddon danced in their heads
And me in my kerchief, and dad in his cap
were using our new Watchtower app.
-
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
-
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of eight little hoofs
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound.
-
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.
A bundle of Toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler, just opening his pack.
-
I said "oh no, you must not come here"
We are all Witnesses and it's God we fear
Christmas is wrong and sinful and bad
Those who do it have gone quite mad
-
He shook his head and looked a bit sad
You are mistaken, and you have been had
For Christmas is not the bad thing here
What's bad is living a life with no cheer
-
Christmas is not the thing to fear
It's just a special time of year
It's all about good times together
And not just ugly Christmas sweaters
-
"But no" I said, " that cannot be"
It's wrong and pagan to have a tree
And all the customs that people do
It can't be right to do them too.
-
You're wrong, you know, as you can see
For God himself created trees.
And lights that burn like the brightest day
Are just the thing to light my way
-
So don't the Christmas customs scorn
I must be done before the morn
Bring those Christmas stocking quick
This isn't some kind of trick
-
It's true I thought, it isn't wrong
To raise our voices up in song
To celebrate a day with joy
And give a child a little toy
-
It's not the right of Earthling man
To tell another how to stand
I don't know all the answers, true
But for my child this I can do
-
It's not wrong to mark a day
So the bible true does say
So stockings I found for that fat man
And gave then quick into his hand
-
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!
-
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"
